The national broadcaster Kashiikit Televisoon, announced that they would return for the tenth edition with the singer Bouchra and her song “Blanc Ou Noir” which ultimately finished fifth. Kashykia has a relatively good record in the contest finishing second on the debut and achieving a number of top ten placing. Kashykia eventually won the contest with Sagi Abitbul and his song “Mariko” which amassed 163 points and bringing the contest to Kashykia for the first time.

Leinen eest Kashiikija
Kashykia has taken part since the first edition of the 1 which was held in Björnska where singer Zhanar Dugalova reached second place behind Oxenryd and ahead of Arkaystia. The country uses the national final Leinen eest Kashiikija to determine who shall represent the country in the Maia Song Contest. The National Final ran for 5 editions with mixed results coming from the show with early successes such as Zhanar Dugalova and Sirusho both finishing inside the top 3. While a sixth edition of the national final was planned with seven artists set to compete, the show was ultimately cancelled and Kashykia's national broadcaster Kashiikit Televisoon, announced that it would internally select the Kashyk entrant for Maia Song Contest. This decision has stuck since and there are no immediate plans to return to a national selection at the time being.

Kashiik Estivanüüd Jöl
Kashiik Estivanüüd Jöl, (English: The Kashyk Choice), is a TV show dedicated to revealing which singer will represent Kashykia in the Maia Song Contest. The show has been used since December 2016 after the cancellation of Leinen eest Kashiikija and has been used ever since to choose the Kashyk artist for MSC. The show lasts for approximately one hour and looks back at previous Kashyk participants, other countries' entrants (former and upcoming) and ends with the reveal of the Kashyk artist and song as well as an information segment on the artist in question. The show has been used since the sixth edition of the Maia Song Contest with one exception being for Maia Song Contest 24, where Leinen eest Kashiikija was brought back due to a promise made by the head of the Kashyk delegation, Marko Kuitunen. Marko stated that if Kashykia were to come anywhere near the top of the 23rd edition of the contest, KYT would organise a Turbo-slut edition of Kashykia's ancient national final. Kashykia placed first at the edition in question and as a result, Kashykia's national final was brought back for one special edition called: Leinen eest Kashiikija: Turbo!.
